The Libertad coin is the official bullion coin of Mexico, and is produced annually in silver and gold, with a total of five weights available in each. While the silver program has three different versions, the Gold Mexican Libertad is available in a bullion and proof version only.

The Gold Mexican Libertad was first offered by the Mexican Mint in 1981 in a ¼ oz, ½ oz, and 1 oz weight. Production did not begin again until 1991, when a 1/10 oz and 1/20 oz coin were added. Consistent, annual production did not begin until 2002. Today, the ½ oz Gold Mexican Libertad is among the rarest in the series because it has low mintage numbers.

On the reverse side of the 2015 ½ oz Gold Mexican Libertad you’ll find the Mexican coat of arms. The official seal of the nation, it features an eagle locked in battle with a serpent on top of a cactus branch. The official name of the country, “Estados Unidos Mexicanos,” is engraved above, while a wreath encircles the bottom of the seal.

The obverse side features a depiction of the angel of independence. A symbol of resistance and freedom during the War of Independence, a statue of her likeness (known as Winged Victory) stands to this day in Mexico City.

Spanish conquistadors established the Mexican Mint around modern-day Mexico City in 1535, making it one of the oldest operating facilities in the world, predating both the United States Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint in North America.
